Culturally Insensitive Food Packaging - Exhibit 1

This is a package of hotdog buns we bought at the store the other day. These are the large ones, "store-høvding" translates as "big chief". The little ones also have Native-American themed mascots. I find a lot of junk food here is advertised as being "American style" with various symbols on the package like stars, stripes, the statue of liberty, the space needle etc. Something like this really wouldn't fly in North America, but here they seem less worried about offending people. There are tons more examples everywhere, I'll probably post a few more eventually.
